(A/N): This ain't my first fanfic rodeo, but it is my first BNHA fic, so I hope I'm doing the characters justice. As for what inspired me to write this...Pokemon is like, my most favorite game franchise of all time. I'm a die-hard fan. Recently, I've fallen in love with BNHA. So, I thought, why not take my two great loves, and combine them? BOOM! This fic was born. I hope you all like this fic, and it's kind of slow beginning. I plan to make the battle scenes quite epic. I don't plan, at this point in time, for there to be any ships included in this story; it's simply a pokemon journey, through and through. If I make any romantic scenes based upon this fic, they'll be in a separate one short. Now, enough rambling. This fic follows, kinda loosely, the storyline of Pokemon Moon. Hope you all enjoy this!

Standard Disclaimers Apply.

The world of Pokémon: an exciting, diverse world full of amazing creatures and the people who live alongside them! From the Kanto region to the Alola region, there are new species being discovered every day, and enough trainers with dreams to rival that number. We find our hero, Izuku Midoriya, on the plane to his new home in a new region completely unknown to him. Enroute to this new region completely foreign to him, Izuku kept his mind off the Orange Islands racing below by turning away from the plane window to the tablet in his hand. His mother dozed in the chair beside him, headphones on to block out the chatter of the rest of the plane.

"Hang on, now. Gimme just a sec…," Izuku smiled as the simulation video began, feeling his muscles begin to relax as the voice of his favorite professor came on screen. This video was made as a general welcome for all new and upcoming trainers, mainly those moving to Alola (which Izuku found oddly specific for a video topic), but it still made Izuku feel as though his hero was talking to him personally.

"Hey there! Good evening! So, the day has finally come that you're moving to Alola! Alola is a region made up of several islands. That could be the reason the region is full of nothin' but rare Pokémon, yeah! There's no shortage of cool and mysterious creatures out here! You can find 'em all over. In the grass, in the caves, the sky and sea…"

Izuku shrunk back at the mean glare the old man seated in front of him gave him, and rummaged in his carry-on for a pair of earphones, scrambling to put them on so he wouldn't miss what Professor Yagi was saying.

"Here in Alola we love our Pokémon, and we depend on them heaps, too. Some of us even battle with 'em, if we call ourselves Pokémon Trainers!"

Izuku giggled as a small dog Pokémon that Professor Yagi referred to as a rockruff jumped on the professor, cutting off the scripted speech meant for the video.

"Rockruff, can you wait until I'm done talking to play?!" Awkwardly clearing his throat and placing the over-excited rockruff down, Professor Yagi very obviously checked over his script again.

"Where was I…? Oh, right… Can't wait to see you in person then, young one!"

Izuku smiled to himself as the video ended, feeling more welcomed to his new home-to-be already.

"Ahh, could anything be more soothing, Izuku? Our first evening spent under Alola's calm moon, our house right on the shore…I feel like I could stay out here all night," Inko smiled at her son, and Izuku smiled back, hefting boxes into his own room.

"It sure is, mom. I could go for morning runs here like back home in Kanto. It'll be hard to adjust, though… I didn't really see any kids in our neighborhood either, though I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing…"

"Oh, Izuku…it'll be great, I promise! There are so many things for us to do in Alola, and I heard that Professor Yagi lives near us, studying Pokémon and Pokémon moves."

Izuku perked up, staring at his mom slack-jawed.

"Yes, that's right! If it's like it is back in Kanto, I'm sure he'll be giving you your own Pokémon too, since you didn't have the chance back in Pallet Town. Are you excited to meet some Alolan Pokémon?"

"Of course!"

Inko giggled, unpacking the kitchenware, "I would like to meet some, too! I'm sure that on such beautiful islands as these, the Pokémon ought to be rather friendly."

Izuku opened his mouth, about to agree, when there came a knocking at the door. He and his mom exchanged perplexed looks, wondering who it could be, so soon after they'd just arrived. Inko put down the kitchenware and went over to the door, opening it with a sort of anticipation felt by both her and her son. They gaped in awe at the guest standing at their door.

"Hello there, neighbors! I saw that you two were new to the neighborhood and came to greet you! My name is Toshinori Yagi, also known as Professor Yagi! You can just call me Yagi, though. You must be tired after your long trip to Alola, right? We're a long way away from Kanto, huh? I brought coffee and malasadas to liven' my new neighbors up, as a welcome gift!"

Inko was the first to recover from her awe, smiling, flattered by Toshinori's politeness, "Oh, oh my! Thank you so much! Please, come in! We have the furniture set out already, but there still boxes everywhere, please excuse the mess. My name is Inko, Inko Midoriya, and this is my son, Izuku."

"It's no problem! You just moved here, after all. It's nice to meet the both of you."

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too! Ah, Izuku, can you get a chair for Mr. Yagi, please?"

Izuku moved slow, dragging along a chair for Toshinori, slack-jawed and star-struck. Toshinori awkwardly sat as Inko brought out plates for the treats that Toshinori had brought them, and Izuku just…stared. I mean, what else are you supposed to do when you meet your childhood hero out of nowhere? Act normal?

"So, you and young Midoriya came from Kanto, right? That's where I was born and raised myself, you know."

"Oh yes, I know! Izuku here would watch the old recordings of you battling in the Indigo League all the time," Inko gestured to Izuku, who went positively red.

"Oh, really?"

Izuku nodded rigidly, frozen-still. How could his mom do him dirty like that?

"Did that get you interested in Alolan Pokémon? The Kahunas here are friendly and generous; they'll give you your own starter!"

Izuku gasped, turning to his mom for approval, practically buzzing with excitement. Inko laughed, enjoying the malasadas and coffee heartily, "Go on, Izuku! You've always wanted the chance to be a trainer, haven't you?"

"Well, I think we ought to get going then! What're you waiting for, Midoriya, my boy? Let's head out into town!"

Izuku beamed and rushed into his room, scrambling for his lucky red sneakers, cap, and bag, excitedly following Professor Yagi out the door, and onto the first steps of his Pokémon journey.

So, I really do hope you all enjoyed that. Please leave me a review letting me know what you all thought. Until next time, lovely readers.
